BOURNS Linear Rotary Potentiometer, 5K Ohm, 2W, Panel Mount

The BOURNS Linear Rotary Potentiometer is a 1-gang panel-mounting component designed for reliable rotary adjustment. Featuring a robust cermet element with a linear taper, this single-turn potentiometer delivers consistent performance with a power rating of 2W and a track resistance of 5kΩ. It is engineered with L-pattern PC pins for secure board connectivity and a metal plain bushing for stable mounting.

This rotary potentiometer includes a single 0.305-inch R, 90°CW anti-rotating lug to maintain stability during use, ensuring consistent and accurate adjustments. With an IP40 protection rating, it offers essentially infinite theoretical resolution. The device operates effectively across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for demanding environmental conditions.
